Description

The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

BETTER KISS AND MAKE UP" And Get Down to Business. Tho mine managers and mine owners ���who have been standing out for the three-dollar wage 1'or the eight-hour day had better acknowledge defeat and call the lockout oil' and put the boys at work. The agent they sent I'.nst to hire men has returned, and while he is not likely to report to Tub: Tiiiiwne before Ire reports to his principals, it is well known that his mission was a failure. The men in the Hast Avere posted on the situation here, and they could not be induced to come lure as long as the men her said "Stay! " And it is the same everywhere. IS von \\ here the men arc not organized they "will not accept less than the wages asked l.y the men who are members of the union. This is as it should be. Tliere should bo no feeling of antagonism between organized and unorganized mine workers in a country situated as British .Columbia is. Many of the mines and camps are isolated, and it is a well-known '..'���fcxporience that unions cannot be successfully maintained in communities of small population. There are no unions iu Northern Kootenay, and efforts have b on made to induce miners to leave ���, there for points in the Slocan, but the 1 .'efforts have failed, as the following from the Rovelstoke Mail of Saturday shows: The Sloe-air mine owners must be in desperate straits ito open their mines without recognizing tlie miners' union ���and all the union stands for when they have to adopt such despicable methods to secure men as w.-is attempted in Revel- stoke this Aveek by Joseph Hrrington, who claimed to bo a representative of the Wakefield mine, Silverton, which is represented in the Mine Owners'Protective Association. To the credit of the miners of Revelstoko district, bo it said, that not one of. them would take advantage of their fellow workers' victory in the south country, and to a man refused to scab. They recognized that the mine owners, now practically beaten, were trying to rise them to "break" the minors' union and would have none of it. The mines iu the Slocan must be opened before October or the snow will prevent them from being worked until next May, and this explains their anxiety to secure men, so as to prepare for tiro winter's work. So far they have been unsuccessful in securing sufficient scab ���labor, and at present it looks as if the owners'would, have to acknowledge themselves le.iten or keep the mines closed this winter. - '|?jy^'ij^M&u^ ^^M^^^^^fim^MP^'^ ii^yfot* ^ Ml^a^el io!:fe'jHoy ,.aIso' ,* PUBLISH^ ���TffQfc-ZX'i TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19, 18��9.

PitETOitiA, September IS.���The reply of the government of the South African republic to the latest dispatch dated September ,12th, ofthe British secretary of state for tho colonics, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, after acknowledging the receipt of the British note, proceeds in part as follows: The government deeply regrets the withdrawal, as the government understands it, of the invitation contained in the British dispatch of August 23rd, and the substitution in place thereof of an entirely new proposal. The proposals now fallen through, contained in the Transvaal dispatches of August 19tlr and 21st were dieted from this government by suggestion made by the British diplomatic agent in Pretoria, which this government acted upon in good, faith, and after specially ascertaining whether they would be likely to prove acceptable to the British government.

Sandiford, manager of the Northwest Mining Syndicate, has returned from .Spokane well satisfied with tho result of his trip. It was undertaken to arrange the final details with Scott McDonald and his associates of the amalgamation of the fidelity mine with the Bosun, adjoining this town. This arrangement has already been detailed at length in Tun Tiuisune, but the true secret of the affair has but now been made public, though known to a few for some time. It is nothing less than the discovery upon the Fidelity ground of one of the largest bodies of clean galena yet found in this famous camp. Some months ;rgo Mr. Sandiford had empioyed iu tracing the vein on the Fidelity two trusted miners, and these were engaged three weeks at their task. They ran a number of cuts, and in one of these encountered an immense body of float, which upon being traced rrp was soon located in the lead in place. One of these men affirms that the lead shows a solid front of four feet of clean galena, and it has been opened up for upwards of 100 feet. The former owners of the Fidelity played iu hard luck, otherwise they would have uncovered the chute, as but six inches of earth remained over it from one of their workings. In fact, .when the wash fell away, the mark "of tlieir picks Avas discernible upon the ore. W. Drewry, P. L. S., subsequently ran a line over the now find, showing it to hold a course through the Fidelity and just below the present workings on the Frisco, theuce heading towards Silver mountain. The effect of this find upon New Denver in the future is at once apparent, and it is the intention of Mr. .Saudiford to work the combined properties on a big scale as soorr as the labor question is adjusted. [We would mildly suggest that as Mr. Sandiford has obtained so "hirge'^a thing at so small a cost that he settle the labor difficulty by��� ���������paying- miners Avorking ni'eiit^^vHtihr Satisfy-her; hntj eisty 'sjgo^feiaji "lllQlXtl.. - ��� 'y ���_,'-,: ".". ������::'...���-''������;���. ^^v"'-'"'-' y '.'As^'egiiiijd^tj]^ ^r;ansv/a:aF$acceptance of\$hte-"iiivati^pn .- the r*eimte^iA''eh'iby n^K^ ymentand e)t^ ��� cp.h\m|i8$J!V^ -b^^^n^i-"Vh^ ..rieeessaryyiafid^ such.

On Friday last tho minister of finance spent a fully occupied day at Kaslo. From about ten o'clock in the morning until nearly midnight lie was interviewed with reference to the eight-hour law. There was no formal delegation, but singly aud in pairs the mine owners, mine managers, their representatives and sympathizers came to Mr. Cotton to express their views upon the so-called in- quitons measure. The occasion was not of sufficient importance to call George Alexander from his studied seclusion, but lie was represented by his chief clerk, who is also his talkative representative upon the Kaslo board of trade. One prominent gentleman, Avhose /.eal Avas in advance of his intelligent study,upbraided the minister upon the injustice of a law Avhich euacted $"J.:jO pay for tin eight-hour day. He Avas more astonished than abashed when informed that the law enacted nothing of the kind. Another, Avhen told that ' the present government would not take any steps to repeal the law, announced that he Avould leave the town iu a month. Ho AA^as told that Avhile his departure would be \'ery deeply regretted, and the loss to the erty Avell nigh irreparable, it Avould scarcely serve to change tlio policy of the administration. Another-representative of the mrue managers, more zealous than judicious, informed Mr. Cotton that the eight-hour law Avas passed at the behest of a body of miners, not more than three per cent of whom were British subjects, another placed the percentage at. ten, while a third said that possibly there might be tAventy-live ]rer cent of British subjects amongst the operative miners. All, however, sneered at lir.F. Green's estimate of fifty percent. Yet Mr. Green was Avell within the truth, for of the 500 members of the Sandon Miners' Union, upwards of seArenty per cent are British born aud have remained British subjects. .

This was handed to the miners, and they at onee decidetl to stay at home, Pickets were at the station this rnornrug to stop those who could not be notified last night. ILiast evening at the Central Mr. Brrrng- tdn was looking very dejected, evidently i eeogiuisiug the .'fact that the jig was iti).: A IVtail man struck hint for a job, was immediately engaged, and is expected to leave for Silverton Monday. Ho then liad another story to tell, Avhich in some particulars differs from the facts. He said there were only a few men in tlie lower eouutry���agrtatorSj etc.'���but tliey -would not accept Avork at any price. It did not make any difference to him whether- ineiMvere union or not. Had a gang of forty men engaged, but his Avork had been spoiled by agents of tire union posting men. Had sent one of the miners down���paid his fare, in fact-���to report to the men here. This man had wired the others that he Avas coming back, so he supposed that he could not get any men to go down. No irse to try to get men here; Avas going home disgusted. A few carpenters Avere going down, Monday, he said, and tlie reporter was assured plenty of work if he would come. Mr. Brriiigtoh went south this morning, though he Avas supposed to go down with tlie carpenters, four in number, on Monday. Lost Their Litres at the Big Tunnel. Ciisnuilo Record. Friday night James Pease, a foreman u n- dor Olaf Oleson, and J. Gilbert met death at the long tunnel through Bui I Dog mountain, near Brooklyn. It is srrpposed that they went into the tunnel too soon after VicTOUiA, Septeniber 18.���Tho steamer Alpha, Avbich completed a (jttiek trip frotti the north last evening, brings news of another earthquake at .SkagAvay. It was on the 10th September, and there Avere several distinct shocks. The dis- tur-bniuce Avas felt as far inland, as the Atlin district. f, J.

It is announced in the Atlin Ciaiin that gold commissioner Graham orders tliat the close season, in which placer claims jioed not be represented, shall commence on September IStlr and continue until July 1st, 1000, Speaking of his reasons for setting these dates, Mr. -'Grahani' said he already had complaints of ice in the sluice box, and therefore thought September 15th the proper date. The opening of the season on July 1st, 1000, Avould give eA'erybody plenty of time to get in and not liave to make the trip over the ice. Insurgents Gain Ground in Venezuela. Washington, September 18.���United States minister' Looruis is hurrying his departure from Washington because of the gravity of the situation in. Venezuela. He left today for New York aud Avill take tho first steamer from that city for Venezuela, which ���will be not later than Saturday next. The minister regards the situation as critical if the newspaper reports of the insurgent successes are accurate.

TRANSVAAL 0UT1O0K IS BAD Mines May Be Confiscated. Prktouia, September IS.���The A'olks- raad today readopted the mining article in the gold law, eliminated last year, empowering the government to confiscate the claims and mines belonging to people convicted of treason or conspiracy against the state, and empowering the government to order that the mines be Avorked, arid if this instruction is disregarded to work them through its own agents. The readopted article comes into force immediately. Big Building Collapsed.

The building fell gradually and Avarning Avas giA'en the few people on the street at tho time, so that no one was injured. The building Avas an imposing one, occupying a whole block fronting on St. Catherine streot between University and Victoria streets, and Avas four stories in height. On an ripper floor adjoining the Scroggie establishment was situated the Queen's theatre. The building Avas an old-fashioned one, and this spring the Scroggie firm took in four stores adjoining, .rip to the theatre entrance, put in a modern flout and remodelled their end of the building. The repairs had only been completed a short.time.

On Friday and Saturday the local agents, taking advantage of the presence in the city of so many general agents of the companies carrying risks in Nelson, wired the secretary of the Vancouver board asking that it instruct sonic of the general agents to readjust the rates. There wore in Nelson at the time Robert S.Day of Victoria, representing tho'Imperial, A. A. Bonk of Vancouver, representing the Caledonian, James S.

In response to the request of the local agents, the Vancouver board held a meeting yesterday and decided to authorize Mr. Tiedman of the Scottish Union and Mr. Reed of otho Connecticut companies to make the desired readjustment. The former is now in the Slocan and the latter in Boundary, but steps Avi 11 be taken to secure their return to this city Avithin the next few days. By the readjustment a considerable reduction will be made on the buildings in the old frame ranges on Baker street^ Avhich have recently been broken up by the erection of brick blocks. This deduction will apply to the old buildings in most of the blocks, as the splitting of the frame ranges by bricks will tend to reduce the .rates upon all the buildings in the blocks. The readjustment will not' result in any general lowering of the iir surance rates, as Nelson is now using the same rate'as--Victoria;'aiid 'it.-is', more than likely an increase will be made on some of the risks, particularly in block No. 1, Avhere the risk Avas increased by the moving of the old Merchants'hotel building from block 5 to block 1. ��.: Plans of Mackenzie & Mann.

A Avell-knoAvn resident of Kaslo, old enough to have better sense, has Avorked himself up to such a pitch of indignation over tlie eight-hour law that he threatens to leave the town within a month if the law is not repealed. He does not state , whether he will return to the Northwest Territories and engage in farming or to NeAV BrunsAvick to engage in politics. Colonel, stay iii Kaslo and be one of the 1 boys.

".I Advjchs from the Slocan are that some of the mine managers are Avilling to resume Avork and pay $3.50 a clay, but they are unwilling to employ members of tho local unions. , If the mine managers insist on keeping up their organization, they surely should' concede a like .privilege to the*-mine workers. The mine managers in this fight have acted more like'babies thaii full-grown men.

The.state owned railways of Aiif*i,r;ilia are often referred to as indiwiting tlie advantage of government ownership, but in trutli tlie cost of carriage is much higher ou the roads -than on Canadian roads, and must be, because the railways of Australia aro corruptly conducted as political.machines. -By'way of confirmation,, wo give below tire evidence of one of the best known men living, and one of the shrewdest observers, S. L. Clemens, bettor known as Mark Twain. This famous writer had occasion a couple of years ago to go upon a lecturing tour that included the principal points in Aus- ; tralia, and the weakness of the railway system did not escape him. Ho lias an Australian gentleman traveling with him to a little town called Maryborough tell the story, wliich is Jn part as follows: "Tlie government chooses to do its- niil- way business iu^ its own Avay, and-it doesn't know as much about it as the French. In the beginning they tried -������idiots; then tliey imported the Frenclr-- which was going backwards, you -see; now it runs the roariMtsclf���which is going backwards again, you see. Why, do you know, in order to curry favor with the voters, the government puts down a road wherever anybody wants it���anybody that owns two sheep nnd a dog; and " by consequence we've got, in the colony of Victoria, S00 railway stations, and the business done at eighty of thorn doesii.'t foot ii p.twenty shillings a week." - -i'Fivo dollars? " Oh, come!" 'it's true, it's the absolute truth." "Why, there are three or four men on wages at every station." "I know it. And the station business doesn't pay for the sheep-dip to sanctify their coffee with. It's just as I say. And accommodating? Why, if you shake a rag the brain will stop in the nlidst of the wilderness to pick yon up. All that kind of politics costs, you see. And then, besides, any town that has a good many votes and wants a fine station, gets it. Don't you overlook that Maryborough station, if you lake an interest in governmental curiosities. Why. you can put the whole population ol Maryborough into it, and give them a sofa apiece, and havo room for more. You havoif b fifteen stations in America that are as big, antl you probably haven't five that are half as fine. Why, it's perfectly elegant. And tho clock! Everybody will tell you about the clock. There isn't a station in Europe that's gob such "a-clock: It-doesn't slriko^uul-tJiat's one mercy. Well, of course, when they build and' rail 720 stations, at a loss, and a, lot of palace-Stations aiid clocks like .MiiryborOugh's at another loss, the government has gob to economise somewhere, hasn't it? Very Weil���lookat the rolling -stock! That's where they'siwe the money. Why, that train from Maryborough will consist of eighteen freight cars and two passenger keimels; cheap, .poor, shabby, t-lovonly: 110 drinking water,.no sanitary ���aiTftngen.eiit*'; every imaginable ihcou- venr^iiee; and slow?-���oh, the gnii, of cold .molasses; no 'aH'brake, no springs, and they'll jolt your head off every time they start or stop. That's where they make their little economies, you see. They spend tons of money to house yon palatiaHy while yoii wait fifteen minutes for a train, then degrade you to six- hours' convict transportation to gob the foolish outlay back." ���Mew Zealand's steam railroads are owned and'operated by the government.

The engine driver' blows two loud blasls of tho motive's whistle before starting, niiieli like a steamer. A. large hand bell at bhe stations is loudly rung prior to tho shrieks ol' the loeomotivo's whistle. Tlie guard (condu.'tor) walks up and down the platform and says: "Take your seats ���everybody take seats," instead of "all aboard." .after which he blows a. poeket whistle signal, like some United .States trolley car. conductors, and the train starts, but does not go much faster than a. horse's slow pace, except down grade. The train stops in the bush, nnd you think an axle is broken or something is wrong probably a "hold-up," which they call a' "struck:'up;" but no, the stop is merely to let the guard apply tho brakes. Why do they want the brakes .applied after .stopping? Well, you see, there is ahead of us a slight down grade, not very much, bub enough to require brakes, and the solitary guard could not apply all the brakes quick enough, so they wait ten minutes for him to do so. It is almost like stopping'an ox team in pioneer days. Air brakes are unknown, and the locomotive has no bell, but must always Avhistle. The railway carriages have a plain, square," flat board seat against the sides, of the coach lengthwise. Some have a leather cushion to sit upon. A few late coaches have six to,eight" narrow reversible seats. A solitary step high up, made of one piece of board aids the passenger to enter. The windows are small and near the roof. Baggage checking is nn- Big Scl]oo!|er Beer or Half= and=Half.... known. You paste a label on your baggage, they gather it up and take it, but yo i must see that they pub it oil' ab your destination, and must claim it in the general scramble before some one helps himself to it. Letters posted in a 'mail car must pay from four to twelvo cents extra, according to their destination. No trains run at night or on Sunday. Live stock cannot travel on Monday or I<Yi- day. The cars for horses and cattle are called carts; other freight cars arc termed wagons. They are built like packing cases, and have no opening except the missing roof, the door closed tightly. They are scarcely one-fourth the si/.e of American cars. There are no trolley cars in all of New Zealand, notwithstanding a. population of 00,000 in Auckland aud other towns almost as large.

Mr. Lewis, iu presenting what he declares to be legal claims against the British Columbia government, never loses a chance of describing the nn- neighborly and unfriendly legislation that evicted American miners of Atlin Lake. If Mr. Lewis has solid claims, he will in all probability get justice from the proper authorities, but there is not a shadow of reason why he should win sympathy because of the "unfriendly and unnoighb. rly" legislation that prevents his clients carrying away the wealth of British Columbia'* placer mines. British Columbia's anti-alien legislation does not approach the severity of the laws which? Washington put on her statute books to exclude Canadians from mining rights. Now that Canada has the gold and Americans the desire to profit from it. Mr, Haniilton Lewis had better look to bhe courts for law aud nob to the public for sympathy.

Nelson is Generally Healthy. .Although there are Kever.il capes of typhoid fever in Nelson the disease cannot he said Io he epidemic. Dr. L.in.-m, the health officer for tlie city, computes the number of cases, including those from outside points, at twelve. Compared with the corresponding period of the previous year he says .that there is not one-tenth of Ihe number of cases that there were iu 1.S0S. The improvement he considers is due to the extension of the witter and sewerage systems and a.so to the grading of streets, which in many instances litis removed or covered up bad ground. ]Je considers that; there should be quite as marked an improvement in the health of t he city next year as theie has been in the ]>resent over the fornier year. Jn his opinion the city council should ;is a precautionary measure insist upon all who have either water oi*, sewerage services within reach of their premises connecting with the same. Particularly should this regulation be enforced in the case of private hospitals in Avhich patients suffering from contagious diseases are treated. If this is done Nelson should be as free from typhoid in the fall as any city in the province. Postoffice BAKKK STREET, Remember the Narne Store NKLSON. J. A.
